The thinkLaw Institute is much more like a retreat than a conference. Come ready to dream big about the world as it ought to be, and be ready to do intensely practical work to make that world a reality. We will be applying everything we learn directly to YOUR context and content.
Expect both close collaboration with your district cohort AND building alliances with new friends who share your role, your challenges, your “I didn’t know anyone else thought like this” way of being.
We are intentionally spending three days in a beautiful space, and will be embedding time for rest, exploration, and community building into the agenda, because we believe it should not be a luxury to laugh and learn at the same time.
thinkLaw partners with a limited number of schools, districts, and networks each year with a comprehensive, wrap-around model that gives teachers and leaders:
Easy-to-implement supplementary curriculum that shifts students’ beliefs about themselves as critical thinkers and teachers’ beliefs about what students are capable of.
Concrete, instructional strategies – the moves – that unlock the rigor of the high-quality instructional materials districts have already invested in, through participation in thinkLaw’s Annual Institute.
Coaching to help teachers and leaders share the power of these instructional moves across teams, departments, and buildings, becoming ambassadors of a critical thinking revolution.
